A man was arrested and charged after a woman died having sex with his dog at his home, according to court proceedings.

An Irish judge postponed the sentencing in the man convicted of bestiality in which the woman died.

Sean McDonnell from Limerick, Ireland, had met a woman on a chat line for bestiality. She later had sex with a dog at his home, but died shortly after, according to reports in the news media.

Originally it was believed that she has had an allergic reaction to animal sex, but test were unable to prove this theory.

The woman was 48-years-old from the city of Limerick as well.

Police Officer Padraig O'Dwyer said that while the woman and the dog committed an act of bestiality, the exact cause of death could not be determined.
O'Dwyer said the woman had agreed to have sex with the dog after the couple had met on the Internet.

McDonnell made 3,500 comments in forums which talk about bestiality.
His computer had "broad activity on pornography and bestiality websites", the court heard.
The dog was killed last week.

McDonnell¡¯s attorney, Isobella Kennedy, said: "My client would not be charged is the woman had not died. The woman fully consented. There was no form of coercion or duress."
Judge Carroll Moran described it as "a very unusual case" and said the sentence will be issued on December 14.
